Historic preservation stakeholders from across the state are convening in Jackson, Michigan this week for the annual Michigan Historic Preservation Network conference. The network works to recognize and conserve Michigan’s architectural culture.

The organization is currently working on projects around the state. Current State speaks with Nancy Finegood, Executive Director of the Michigan Historic Preservation Network.

Finegood says her challenges include a lack of incentive to do historic preservation.
